Cork may be Ireland's second city but it is a distant second, with a population of just under 120,000 compared to 1,275,000 in Dublin. The city is a good base for exploring the whole region and is popular with weekend visitors from the continent. Cork has a distinguished pub culture and widespread music scene, both traditional and not, one of Ireland's leading universities, and a top art gallery. Blarney lies not far away on the R617 where you'll find the world famous Blarney Castle and Blarney Stone – this journey makes for an excellent day trip.
Cork was once known as the Venice of the north due to the volume or rivers and canals in the city but the vast majority, excluding the River Lee, have not been covered over. The name comes from the Irish for 'marshy place'. The city dates to the 6th century when it was spread over 13 islands but Cork did not receive its first Royal Charter until 1185, from Prince John of England.
The city became a centre of the butter trade in the 17th and 18th centuries when many of the city's most impressive buildings were constructed. Up to 1770 Cork's main streets such as Grand Parade, Patrick's Street, and South Mall were all submerged under the River Lee which was damned about 1800, creating the island where the centre of the city can be found today.
There are both traditional pubs with Gaelic sports and traditional music as well as clubs and bars catering to the LGBT community, hipsters, and locals all at once.
How to Spend Your Time in Cork City
You can feasibly explore the main attractions of Cork in half-a-day but to truly appreciate the city, a full day's exploration is better. The English Market and Crawford Art Gallery – both musts on any visit – are closed on Sunday.
How to Get Here
The journey from Dublin takes less than three hours on the M7 and M8 while it's about two and a half hours to Shannon Airport with part of the route being motorway. Killarney is 90 minutes away.
Cork's Bus Station at Parnell Place has services to most major towns and cities in Ireland as well as luggage storage facilities. Trains depart from Kent Station to Dublin Heuston every hour on the half hour and the journey lasts less than three hours.
The city is best explored on foot and if you have brought a car, it's advisable to find a parking garage or multi-storey car park as street parking can be difficult to come by.
Local buses, such as the No. 8 from outside Patrick Street's Debenham's department store will bring you to the university and other locations around the city if you'd rather not walk.
Visitor Information
Cork City Tourist Information Office – Grand Parade, Cork
Cork Vision Centre – Located in Saint Peter's Church, a restored building dating from the 18th century, the Cork Vision Centre offers a look at the history and geography of the city and includes an excellent 1:500 scale model detailing how Cork has grown over the ages.
Location: North Main Street, Washington Village, Cork City, County Cork
Cork City Gaol – This castle-like prison was heavily used to incarcerate those sentenced to deportation to Australia before the convict ship departed – the penalty could be enforced for crimes as simple as stealing bread. It saw many of Ireland's most famous freedom fighters locked in its cells over the centuries and served as an all-female for a few years before being used as a jail for anti-Free State rebels during the Civil War. Life-sized wax models and sound effects in the cells help to evoke how grim the prison once was.
Following the prison's closure, it was abandoned for a few years before it became a broadcasting station and the Radio Museum Experience in the Governor's House looks back at the origin of radio, with artefacts dating back to 1923.
Location: Sunday's Well Road, Sunday's Well, Cork City, County Cork
Crawford Art Gallery –Originally the city's custom house, this building dates from 1724 and is now Ireland's principal art gallery outside Dublin. There are permanent exhibitions by 18th and 19th century artists including William Leech Daniel Maclise, James Barry, and Nathaniel Grogan as well as space for visiting exhibitions. There's also a quality café which is a great place for lunch.
Location: Emmet Place, City Centre South, Cork City, County Cork
English Market – The English Market is world renowned for a reason, it's a veritable mecca for foodies who come from the organic fish, local farm produce and more exotic fare including olives from continental Europe and spices from India. The Farmgate café upstairs is excellent.
The market gets its name from the fact that it was built by the city's Protestant Corporation at a time when Catholics were not allowed to hold public office. When Catholics did finally form a majority on the Corporation they established the rival Irish Market nearby, though that market is a club and bar these days.
During her first State Visit to Ireland in 2011, Queen Elizabeth toured the market and personally met some of the stall holders, some of whom were in turn invited to accompany Irish President Michael D. Higgins on his first State Visit to the UK in 2014.
Location: There are entrances on Grand Parade and Princes Street, City Centre South, Cork City, County Cork
Patrick Street – Patrick Street runs from Grand Parade in the south to Patrick's Bridge, which connects to a steep hill on the mainland. The street is Cork's primary shopping thoroughfare and the focus is on pedestrians rather than cars. There's everything from local, even unique boutiques to international chain and departments stores. Patrick Street saw some of the heaviest fighting during the War of Independence but there's no sign of that troubled past here today.
Location: City Centre South, Cork City, County Cork
Patrick's Bridge – Standing on the bridge allows you to take in the gentle curve of Patrick Street to the south and the tall yet narrow Georgian houses on Saint Patrick's Hill to the north as well as the expanse of the River Lee. Steps have been cut into the pavement, such is the steepness of the hill. A redbrick shopping centre nearby recalls the warehouses which once stood in the area, when ships in the butter trade would dock at Merchant's Quay.
Location: Patrick Street, City Centre South, Cork City, County Cork
Paul Street – Paul Street runs parallel to Patrick Street and is the main shopping street in former French Quarter where you'll find the best in contemporary Irish design including jewellery, fashion, and hand-blown glass. The area was originally settled by French Huguenots fleeing religious persecution but today it's just as well known for the musicians and street performers in Rory Gallagher Piazza – which was named for the late guitarist as his family was from the area.
Location: City Centre South, Cork City, County Cork
Saint Anne's Church – This church, with its four sided clock tower and gold-coloured salmon weather vane on top is visible from across the city. The reward for climbing the 37 metre tower is the chance to ring the church bells which were immortalised in the 19th century ballad, the Bells of Shandon. There's a craft market and performance art centre nearby.
Location: Church Street, Shandon, Cork City, County Cork
Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral (Anglican) – A small Gothic cathedral with three spires, the church was finished in 1879 and features a 3,000 pipe organ. Saint Fin Barre is said to have founded Cork near here in 650 CE.

Triskel Arts Centre– This is a great place to catch up on the cultural happenings of the city. Several town houses and an old church have been converted for the centre which has demonstrations and events throughout the year.

University College Cork – The grand Doric gates of the university are about two kilometres from the centre of the city and has a student population of 10,000. This progressive institution is part of the National University of Ireland. The main courtyard dates to the 19th century and is modelled on Tudor-Gothic designs similar to many of the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge in England.
Near the visitor centre are several Ogham stones still bearing the ancient Irish runes while the Crawford Observatory, which includes a telescope from 1860, has been renovated and is open to the public.
The Honan Collegiate Chapel which, while less than a century old (it was built in 1916), is modelled on early medieval Romanesque architecture such as Cormac's Chapel at the Rock of Cashel in County Tipperary. This church features Celtic revival stained glass windows, alter furnishings, and other artworks.
There are three modern buildings on the campus such as the Boole Library, named for George Boole – an English professor who taught here and created Boolean algebra, the bases for modern computer science in the 19thcentury, as well as the Boolean research method which is still in use today.
The Lewis Glucksman Gallery stands near the entrance and features art from the college's own collection as well as contemporary art exhibitions but you'll find examples of modern Irish art throughout campus both inside and outdoors.
Location: College Road, Western Road, Cork City, County Cork
Bishop Lucey Park – This small green space opened in 1985 to mark the 800th anniversary of the awarding of Cork's first Royal Charter. Part of the city's original Norman wall was unearthed during construction and is now preserved near the arched entrance. Contemporary sculptures by local artists and displayed throughout the park.
Location: Grand Parade, Washington Village, Cork City, County Cork
Cork Opera House – A fire destroyed the original Cork Opera House and its 1965 replacement is an ugly, concrete affair. Theatrical performances and operas are performed here along with lighter entertainment.
Location: Emmet Place, Lavitt's Quay, City Centre South, Cork City, County Cork
Court House – An impressive building right at the heart of the city, Cork's Court House is fronted by a grand Corinthian column portico and was built in 1835, it is still in use today. The exterior has been refreshed and looks just as good as it did in the 19th century.
Location: Washington Street, Washington Village, Cork City, County Cork
Fitzgerald's Park – Another small park, this one lies along the northern branch of the River Lee to the west of the city. Within you'll find the Cork Public Museum which is Georgian building now used for exhibits on the city's origins and history – particularly its role in Ireland's various struggles against British rule and during the War of Independence and Civil War.
Location: Western Road, Cork City, County Cork
General Post Office – Once used as an opera house, this Neoclassical building with imposing columns out front is by the far the most impressive structure on a street otherwise dominated by antique shops and jewellers.
Location: Oliver Plunkett Street, City Centre South, Cork City, County Cork
Mardyke – A popular walk along the River Lee, Mardyke connects the city to Fitzgerald Park. As you pass along the path you'll see a cricket field where games are played during the weekend in summer.
Location: Western Road, Cork City, County Cork
Where to Eat
Café Paradiso – This eatery fuses Mediterranean and Asian foods so well that even meat-lovers are willing to overlook its vegetarian menu. The risottos which come with seasonal vegetables and cheese-flavour pastries get rave reviews as do the homemade desserts while there are daily specials which can include couscous cake, feta, and pistachio. A café-style main dining room is trendy and regularly bustling with locals. There are two bedrooms upstairs if you're looking to stay the night, rates start from €200 including dinner.
Typical main: €23
Location: 16 Lancaster Quay, Western Road, Cork City, County Cork
Farmgate Café – The Farmgate Café overlooks the English Market from its upstairs terrace and is both crowded and informal.

Typical main: €14
Location: Over the fountain near the Princes Street entrance, English Market, City Centre South, Cork City, County Cork
Fenn's Quay – This restaurant is located in the heart of the city on the ground floor of a Georgian house nearly 300 years old. It's very small but continually draws a reliable crowd of regulars including lawyers and the like from the nearby courthouse during lunch and theatre and moviegoers in the evening.
Fenn's has somewhat plain décor with typically café-style red chairs but contemporary art on the walls adds character.
The chargrilled steak and chunky chips is incredibly popular and there are great fish options as well. The goat cheese soufflé is another fine option. For dessert, try the chocolate and toffee pots with hazelnuts.
Typical main: €23
Location: Fenn's Quay, Sheares Street, Washington Village, Cork City, County Cork
Flemings Restaurant – The kitchen garden on the large grounds of this extensive Georgian estate overlooking the River Lee supplies the restaurant where traditional French food is the name of the game. While local ingredients are used, the décor is decidedly continental with plush chairs, crystal chandeliers, and gilt framed mirrors recalling the France of Louis XIV.
West Cork black pudding is served with the pan-fried foiegras for starters – a popular dish with regulars. The grilled monkfish with basil oil dressing and red wine sauce is another speciality as is the beef fillet with wild mushrooms.
There are special rates available if you choose to stay here as well as dine.
Typical main: €28
Location: Silver Grange House, Lower Glanmire Road, Tivoli, Cork City, County Cork
Isaacs – There's a fun and informal air to this spacious brasserie in a converted 18th century warehouse where you'll find high ceilings, low jazz, and modern art on the walls. The food fuses Mediterranean and Eastern dishes using locally sourced produce which was a bold idea when Isaacs first opened in 1992.
Good choices from the menu include black pudding with potato pancake, crispy duck confit with potato puree and caramleised shallots, and king prawns tempura which comes with wasabi, eggplant, scallions, picked ginger, and soy sauce for dipping. It's a good idea to book if you plan to visit on Friday or Saturday evening.
Typical main: €18
Location: 48 MacCurtain Street, City Centre North, Cork City, County Cork
Ivory Tower – The grim exterior masks a delightful, eclectic restaurant with touches of Japanese and Mexican cooking. Top choices include the wild duck with jalapenos, vanilla, and sherry or the pheasant tamale. There are also innovative twists on Irish classics such as the monkfish and barley risotto. The rather bland décor is more than made up for by the food and the fact that American-born chef Seamus O'Connell frequently delivers his creations to your table personally.
An eight course €60 tasting menu gives you a great idea of the range and versatility of the menu.
Typical main: €60
Location: Princes Street, Washington Village, Cork City, County Cork
Jacques – It's easy to overlook this restaurant on a small side street even though it is one of the city's finest places to dine. Though there's no natural light, the eatery is warm and welcoming with a stylish art deco bar. All food served here is locally sourced and a great starter is the chicken with fennel and orange salad while the roast duck with apricot sauce, red cabbage, and potato stuffing makes for a superb main course.
There's a two course dinner menu available for €24.
Location: Phoenix Street, City Centre South, Cork City, County Cork (off Oliver Plunkett Street, near the General Post Office)
Les Gourmandises – Though small, this restaurant basks in natural light thanks to its high ceilings and skylight. Chef Pat Kiely has trained with the likes of Marco Pierre White, Patrick Guilbaud, and John Burton Race which has left him with intimate knowledge of contemporary French cooking. One of the best choices from the menu is the roasted cod fillet with foiegras, sherry vinegar dressing, and lentils while another is the roasted pork with black pudding, confit potatoes, baked apple, and sage sauce.
There are good value set menus before 9:30 pm on weekdays and from 6 pm to 7 pm on Saturdays.
Typical main: €27
Location: 17 Cook Street, City Centre South, Cork City, County Cork
Long Valley – This pub is popular with artists, students, and writers among other with an interior that recalls the early 1900s and some of the wooden booths were made from salvaged materials of sunk ships. It's a good place for lunch with good sandwiches, soups, and salads.
Typical main: €5
Location: Winthrop Street, City Centre South, Cork City, County Cork
Market Lane Restaurant and Bar – There's a long mahogany bar but that's the only testament to this venue's former life as a pub. A bistro-style eatery, the Market Lane features wooden top tables and art deco flourishes to create a Parisian aesthetic while light floods in through large windows. The modern Irish meals on the menu are focused on comfort food with many of the ingredients sourced at the English Market.
Great choices include the venison, pheasant, and wild boar pie and braised ox stew which is served with smoked bacon and thyme mash. The cod with leeks and sausages coasted in a creamy mustard sauce and served with colcannon are other fine options. There are also plenty of meals for vegetarians.
Typical main: €16
Location: 5/6 Oliver Plunkett Street, City Centre South, Cork City, County Cork
Strasbourg Goose Restaurant –There are of course tables in the high ceilinged dining room but there's an upstairs balcony and during the summer, providing the weather's agreeable, tables are also placed outside.
The interior décor is rather eccentric but that only adds to the charm of the place which offers surprisingly good value meals. There are daily specials such as duck breast and twice-cooked lamb as well as a slightly more expensive €20 evening menu.
Typical main: €15
Location: 17/18 French Church Street, City Centre South, Cork City, County Cork
Ambassador Hotel – Originally built as a Victorian nursing home, the Ambassador offers a great view of the city and has great character, even if there are trendier and more luxurious hotels elsewhere in the city.

Rates: €90
Location: Military Hill, Saint Luke's, City Centre North, Cork City, County Cork
Clarion Hotel Cork –Located in the city's docklands overlooking the Lee, this hotel features stylish rooms for a good price. There isn't a great deal of car park spaces available however, and not much happens in the area at night while some rooms only have a view of the internal atrium.

Garnish House – Two Victorian townhouses make up this establishment which offers old-fashioned customer service for a genuine Irish experience with a warm welcome from owner-managing Johanna Lucey.

Rates: €88
Location: Western Road, Washington Village, Cork City, County Cork
Hayfield Manor –There are touches of both 19th century grandeur and modern comfort about this hotel which is stylish and offers good value for money considering the luxury of the rooms. The views are nothing to boast about however, and it's an uninteresting 15 minute walk into the city centre or a bus or taxi ride.
Rates: €179
Location: College Road and Perrott Avenue, Western Road, Cork City, County Cork
Hotel Isaacs Cork – Formerly a city centre warehouse, this hotel attracts regular guests and offers old world charm as well as easy access to both the city's bus and train station. The road outside is busy and there's only limited car parking available. Signs of wear and tear are also evident.

Imperial Hotel – Michael Collins, a general in the Irish Free State army and one of the men who signed the Anglo Irish Treaty which led to British withdrawal from Ireland, spent his final night at this hotel before being killed in an ambush during the Civil War.

Rates: €140
Location: South Mall, City Centre South, Cork City, County Cork

Located just 10 kilometres outside Cork City, Blarney is home to the famous Blarney Stone and castle. Getting 'the gift of the gab' by kissing the stone is why most visitors come here.
How to Get Here
Use the N22 and then the N20 roads to get here, the journey will take about 20 minutes and there is a large, free car park. Buses depart from Parnell Place in Cork and drop visitors off at the village green which is right beside the castle and craft shops. There are no trains to Blarney but taxis will make the journey from Cork.
Visitor Information
Blarney Tourist Office – Blarney, County Cork
Top Reasons to Visit
Blarney Castle – A 15th century keep stands at the heart of this estate and it's here, at the top of 127 steps, that you'll find the famed Blarney Stone. In order to kiss the stone you need to lie down and tilt your head way back. Staff will secure you and there's a cage around the stone in any case.
Expect queues after midday, particularly during the summer. The stone is said to have gotten its name when the Lord of Blarney, Cormac MacCarthy, used vague excuses to fend off the requests of Queen Elizabeth I to hand over the castle, leading the monarch to reportedly say "this is all Blarney. What he says he rarely means."
There are plenty of legends about the stone, all of which are almost certainly false, with some linking it to biblical events and characters or mythological spirits while others claim it was originally part of the Stone of Scone, used in the crowning of British monarchs to this day. Analysis of the stone suggest its origin is local, however.
The gardens surrounding the castle were landscaped in the 18th century and include a yew grove where druidic worship is believed to have taken place. There's also a Rock Close of standing stones and one of Ireland's only poison gardens – containing rare and dangerous plants.
Location: Village Green, Blarney, County Cork
Where to Eat
Blairs Inn – A five minute drive from the village, this is quiet place to escape from the busloads of tourists in Blarney. You can dine in the bar or the quieter restaurant though the former option is cheaper. There's also a pleasant beer garden to take advantage of during the summer and a fire burning at the hearth in winter.
The food is made from locally sourced produce and is served in large portions. The corned beef with parsley sauce, gratin with prawns, salmon, and crab, and Irish lamb stew are all excellent choices. Live entertainment is held every Monday in the bar between May and October from 9 pm.
Typical main: €24
Location: Cloghroe, County Cork
Blarney Castle Hotel – Located on the village green not far from the castle, this hotel dates to 1837 and offers a good base for touring and a quieter alternative to Cork City. There's also a restaurant and full bar on site though the latter can be crowded, particularly on Sundays. Some rooms have poor views.
Rates: €100
Location: Blarney Village Green, Blarney, County Cork
The White House Bed and Breakfast Blarney –The White House bungalow accommodation is a five minute walk from Blarney and offers a decent, if distant, view of the castle from the front. The rates are reasonable and the rooms are comfortable while the breakfasts are home-cooked, it's not particularly stylish, however.
Rates: €70
Location: Shean Lower, Barney, County Cork
Craft Stores
Blarney Woollen Mills – There are several craft and souvenir shops in Blarney but this is the biggest and most well stocked. You'll find top of the range fashion, handmade Aran jumpers, and tacky leprechaun knickknacks all under one roof.
Location: Village Green, Blarney, County Cork

The recent blast in Tianjin China is linked to the ongoing cyber-war involving the financial and intelligence communities of the world. The blast produced an electro-magnetic pulse that was directed at disabling the Tianhe, one of the world's most powerful super-computers, according to Pentagon sources. The attack was timed to coincide with the recent devaluation of the yuan, indicating that financial warfare linked to derivatives holdings at the large Western banks was a likely motive.

As the energies from the Galactic Center intensify, it is important for the people to be aware of the Galactic Goddess.

It is time now to become aware of the Galactic Goddess, the feminine aspect of the Galactic superwave, which will manifest itself as Love, never before known on this planet.

Featuring Jeremy Irons, TRASHED takes a critical look at the waste pollution of our air, land and sea—and the harm it inflicts on the food chain and the environment. Traveling across the globe from Iceland to Indonesia, this feature documentary is a global conversation between star Jeremy Irons, scientists, politicians and ordinary individuals whose health and livelihoods have been fundamentally affected by this pollution. Revealing often surprising truths about the very immediate and potent dangers for the planet, TRASHED is a filmic interplay of human interest and political wake-up call that is both visually beautiful and emotionally horrific.

Investigations into the downing of flight MH17 in eastern Ukraine are still inconclusive or incomplete a year on from the tragedy.

Headline o' the Week
A vision of total headline awesomeness appeared totally vision-like this week in an awesome press release from the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Legislation (NORML): "98-Percent Of All Domestically Eradicated Marijuana Is 'Ditchweed,' DEA Admits." Whoa!
The release cites figures produced by the DEA stating that of the estimated 223 million pot plants destroyed by U.S. law enforcement agencies, 219 million are uncultivated feral hemp plants containing virtually none of the chemical that gets you high and makes you want to eat a bucket of Lucky Charms. The folks at NORML (who have clearly never bought a bag of oregano from a shifty guy named Z-Dog) use this information to argue that the wild weed doesn't get you high, so it can't possibly contribute to black-market trade.

This week, Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion Radio show will host, for the very first time, the two-time IBMA Entertainers of the Year, The Gibson Brothers.
Eric Gibson told Prescription Bluegrass that the brothers have been fans of the long-running radio show for some time. "We are so proud and excited to be playing A Prairie Home Companion, an American institution, for the first time," said Gibson.
The brothers' inaugural PHC broadcast just happens to be during the same week as the annual IBMA Awards.
Also on the show will be feel-good folksinger Ellis and the Royal Academy of Radio Actors.
The show will be broadcast from it's home base, the Fitzgerald Theatre in Saint Paul, MN on October 4th.
Listeners with local radio affiliates should check with their stations for actual broadcast times. Others can listen online Saturday, from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. (Central Time).
Visit www.prairiehome.org to listen to a live audio Web stream of the show. You can hear a rebroadcast of the live stream on Sunday, from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. (CT).
The rebroadcast on Sunday can also be heard on Sirius satellite radio. For a complete list of stations by state, click here.
The Gibson Brothers are the current, and two-time successive, Entertainers of the Year from the IBMA. They are also nominated once again this year and stand a good chance of performing on A Prairie Home Companion Saturday night with Garrison Keillor as Entertainers of the Year for the third consecutive year. It's no wonder their excitement level is pegging the meter!
However, the Gibsons would not be the first to achieve such distinction. The Del McCoury Band won the title five years in a row (1996-2000) and three more times consecutively from 2002-2004. Dailey and Vincent also held the title for three consecutive years from 2008 through 2010.

Many women and men in Los Angeles and Pasadena would like to reduce bulges and pockets of excess fat without surgery. In the past, liposuction was the only way to address stubborn, diet- and exercise-resistant fat. Today, CoolSculpting has become popular for those who want to avoid incisions, anesthesia, and taking time out for recovery. Visit the Sasaki Advanced Aesthetic Medical Center to find out if this FDA-cleared treatment could help you slim down the areas that you can't reduce on your own.
*Individual results may vary person to person
CoolSculpting reduces fat through a patented process called Cryolipolysis® that is based on the principle that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than other types of cells are. When low temperatures are applied to the outer skin, fat cells just beneath the surface die, and the skin and other tissues remain undamaged. Over time, the damaged fat cells are flushed away by the body's natural cleansing processes, and treated areas become slimmer.
CoolSculpting treatments may be performed on most well-defined areas of fat, including the chin, belly, hips, thighs, and upper back. While Dr. Sasaki offers other body contouring options, such as liposuction, candidates for CoolSculpting meet the following criteria:
Other nonsurgical fat reduction options include KYBELLA® for double chins and SculpSure® for the flanks and abdomen.
While many practices in Southern California offer CoolSculpting, the Sasaki Advanced Aesthetic Medical Center is exceptionally qualified to perform your CoolSculpting treatment for many reasons:
Dr. Sasaki and his registered nurses perform CoolSculpting treatments in our Nurse Injection and Device Center. The appropriate applicator is selected to match the size of the unwanted bulge. Once the applicator is in place, gentle suction draws the targeted area in and the cooling process begins. The procedure may take 1 to 2 hours to complete, depending on the size and location of the area of fat. If desired, we can use 2 CoolSculpting machines, sometimes called DualSculpting, to treat 2 areas at once (such as both outer thighs) and cut treatment times in half. During the treatment, patients are free to read, use their phone or tablet, or simply relax.
Once the CoolSculpting treatment is complete, optional Z-Wave treatments may be used to optimize fat reduction. These quick, gentle treatments provide an advanced alternative to manual massage to enhance the breakdown of treated fat cells.
Following the treatment, some patients experience temporary swelling, bruising or tenderness; however, patient experiences vary. There is no downtime required after a CoolSculpting treatment. Reduction of treated areas is typically reached approximately 3 months after this comfortable, single-treatment procedure. It's important to understand that CoolSculpting does not tighten the skin and is not a solution for obesity.
While many patients need only a single treatment, larger areas may require additional CoolSculpting treatments to achieve the desired results.

NLC Recognizes Communities and Local Leaders for Achievements in Addressing Childhood Obesity through Let's Move! Cities, Towns and Counties
Nov 17, 2016, 05:44 EST
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, the National League of Cities (NLC) recognized more than 30 cities and counties, and three local leaders for their efforts to improve nutrition and increase physical activity in their communities through Let's Move! Cities, Towns and Counties (LMCTC). The cities were recognized at an award ceremony today at NLC' City Summit in Pittsburgh.
"Across the country, cities large and small are taking steps to transform their communities into healthier places to live," said National League of Cities Executive Director and CEO Clarence Anthony. "Today, we celebrate their commitment and dedication to creating a healthier future for our nation's children."
With today's announcement, there are now 92 cities, towns, and counties that have achieved five gold medals in recognition for their efforts. Medals are awarded to communities based on their achievements in improving access to healthy, affordable food and promoting physical activity. Thirty-two communities received recognition at today's ceremony:
- Ammon, Idaho
- Barre, Vermont
- Baton Rouge, Louisiana
- Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
- Cambridge, Maryland
- Coconut Creek, Florida
- Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
- Decatur, Indiana
- Delray Beach, Florida
- Everett, Massachusetts
- Forest Heights, Maryland
- Fort Lauderdale, Florida
- Gary, Indiana
- Glendale, California
- Greene County, Tennessee
- Greeneville, Tennessee
- Hoffman Estates, Illinois
- Hopewell, Virginia
- Lakewood, Colorado
- Linden, New Jersey
- Lynchburg, Virginia
- Newark, New Jersey
- Orange Township, New Jersey
- Ottawa, Kansas
- Piqua, Ohio
- Portland, Maine
- Rialto, California
- Riverside, California
- San Pablo, California
- Sierra Vista, Arizona
- Suffolk, Virginia
- Warrenton, Virginia
LMCTC is a major component of First Lady Michelle Obama's comprehensive Let's Move! Initiative, which was designed to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic within a generation. More than 500 cities, towns and counties participate in LMCTC, and 81 million Americans are now living in LMCTC communities.
"LMCTC is about ensuring children have everything they need to live healthier lives and fulfill their potential," said Dr. Karen DeSalvo, Acting Assistant Secretary for Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. "Mayors, city councilmembers, county commissioners and other local officials around the country are to be commended for stepping up to the challenge and making measurable progress in their efforts to improve children's health."
In addition, 3 city leaders were recognized with special awards for their exemplary efforts to go above and beyond the goals of LMCTC to ensure the health and well-being of young people today and that of future generations is a priority:
- Most Dedicated Local Elected Official – Mayor Buddy Dyer, Orlando, FL
- Most Dedicated City/County Staff Person – Michael Wright, Fontana, CA
- LMCTC Change Maker Award – Stephanie Quaranta, Barre, VT
Early this year the City of McAllen, Texas, was recognized as the first city to earn the Let's Move! Cities, Towns and Counties (LMCTC) "All-Star" designation. LMCTC All-Stars was developed and launched in response to the demand for more advanced and challenging activities after completing the five original LMCTC goals. McAllen, Texas is the first ever LMCTC site to complete this new program, which requires sites to adopt additional evidence-based policy strategies to promote health and wellness.
"This administration is proud of the work local elected officials are doing in communities across the country to raise a healthier next generation," said Jerry Abramson, Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Intergovernmental Affairs. "And it can't stop now. We need champions at every level that are committed to this work long-term and will continue to create impactful change as these communities have shown is possible."
About the National League of Cities:
The National League of Cities (NLC) is dedicated to helping city leaders build better communities. NLC is a resource and advocate for 19,000 cities, towns and villages, representing more than 218 million Americans. www.nlc.org
NLC is working in partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and with the support of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the National Association of Counties and other nonprofit organizations, to assist local elected officials who join LMCTC as they implement policy and environmental changes to prevent childhood obesity. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has awarded NLC a grant to provide technical assistance to local elected officials working to create healthier communities and prevent childhood obesity, including those participating in LMCTC.

Kajol says she is apprehensive about comeback in Dhanush's film
Actress Kajol is coming back to Tamil cinema with Velaiilla Pattadhari 2 (VIP 2) which will be directed by Soundarya Rajinikanth and the lead actor is none other than superstar Dhanush. Her last Tamil film was in 1997, Minsara Kanavu opposite Arvind Swamy and Prabhu Deva.
The 42 year old actress has said, she is a bit apprehensive about her return after two decades. She has completed 25 years as an actress. "I am a little apprehensive. But I love the fact that I am going back to Tamil cinema," said the 42-year-old actress to news agency PTI. "At the same time I am also extremely excited to return to Tamil cinema," said Kajol to PTI.
On working with Dhanush and Soundarya, Kajol told PTI, "Dhanush is a very fine actor. I haven't seen Soundarya's work but she looks like she knows what she is talking about and we get along very well. So, things will be good."
Velaiilla Pattadhari 2 (VIP 2) will be directed by Soundarya Rajinikanth. The film is being co-produced by Dhanush under his banner WunderBar Films. A few days ago, Tamil superstar Rajinikanth took the clapboard to start VIP 2.
Kajol was last seen with Shahrukh Khan in Dilwale and her next hindi film is with Ship of Theseus director Anand Gandhi.
Stay tuned for more from Bollywood, only on Bollywood Red.

The Philadelphia Zoo just got a few rare additions for 2015.
The newest members of the zoo's animal family aren't cuddly koalas, exotic birds or playful penguins — they're larger-than-life sculptures made from recycled, reused and repurposed materials.
The Philadelphia Zoo's innovative installation Second Nature just opened, and through October 31, visitors will be able to gaze at ingenious and larger-than-life sculptures of endangered animals.
Spark plugs, cardboard, chewing gum and serving plates are just a few of the unorthodox items used to create sculptures like a 9,000-pound, butterfly-laden tree; a 13-foot-tall blue gorilla; and even an alligator — which is made from 200 pounds of chewing gum.
The exhibit is made up of 12 works from a dozen renowned artists hailing from around the world — places like Rome, Rotterdam, Montreal, Queensland and, of course, Philadelphia — each of whom executed a unique vision.
While it is made up of individual works, as a whole Second Nature tells a story about the connection between endangered species and human behavior, and aims to get visitors thinking about the small things we can do in our daily lives to make a world of difference for endangered animals and habitats.
Perhaps best of all, the zoo-wide exhibition is included with the regular price of admission, making art appreciation almost second nature to every visitor.

SeoFoss shows impressive results in both homogeneity, smell and ammonia binding. SeoFoss has the finest particle size on the market, and the larger particle surface – compared to other products – provides a higher ion exchange. SeoFoss has participated in Seges' national trials with slurry, in which they have studied the fertilizer value after addition of SeoFoss. The trials were carried out with SeoFoss and two other products.
Three trials with slurry for winter wheat
The slurry analyses show that the nutrient concentrations are the same, whether the slurry is treated with PP-Dorkel or not. The same applies in the case of Active NS. SeoFoss provides a higher concentration of ammoniacal nitrogen, whereas dry matter content is lower, and phosphor and potassium are largely the same.

So if you need to be provided with something that you cannot find from retail, then we can help.

Belgian defies the strategies to win against the odds
McLaren F1 test driver Stoffel Vandoorne won this afternoon's feature race in Bahrain from pole position, but the victory came against the odds: an early safety car period gave his soft shod rivals a free pitstop, but the Belgian kept his nerve to drive back into contention and claim the win late in the race ahead of Rio Haryanto and Alexander Rossi.
Vandoorne had an easy start when teammate Nobuharu Matsushita bogged down next to him on the front row, with the Belgian easily holding back Alex Lynn and Norman Nato, while Raffaele Marciello and Arthur Pic lined up behind them. With Vandoorne tearing away at the front the battle was heating up behind him: Marciello and Nato were fighting fiercely, which allowed Pic to sneak through, but the pair came together and tapped Pic into a spin, while a following Pierre Gasly had nowhere to go, with the four drivers into the wall and a safety car out for the clean-up.
This gave the soft shod drivers a free stop: Lynn came in from second as Vandoorne watched forlornly, and looked to have the advantage until fast work by the Racing Engineering team got Rossi out ahead of the Williams test driver, with Mitch Evans behind the pair. At the restart the Belgian streaked away again, taking Haryanto with him as they tried to build as big a lead in clean air as they could, while the pitstopped drivers carved their way through the field on fresh rubber.
Rossi did a great job of this, although an impact between Lynn and the American (and between Evans and Marlon Stockinger) saw his rivals struggle to keep pace. Rossi was up to P4 and just 10 seconds back by the time Vandoorne stopped on lap 22, with Haryanto in the next time through, and the Belgian was almost 20 seconds behind with 10 laps to go. The race looked to be done, but no one told Vandoorne: he sliced his way back into contention lap by lap, taking the lead with two to go as the American's tyres couldn't help him anymore.
Vandoorne rolled across the line five seconds ahead of Haryanto, who stole Rossi's position in the final complex before the chequered flag, with teammate Jordan King driving a strong race to finish P4 on his debut. Fellow rookie Robert Visoiu drove a great race on Vandoorne's strategy for 5th, ahead of a solid recovery drive by Matsushita, with Evans struggling home on shot tyres holding off tomorrow's poleman Nathanaël Berthon, while Julian Leal and Andre Negrao rounded out the points ahead of tomorrow morning's sprint race.

Hi friends. I'm still working on getting more of my thoughts down about the Brother Husbands show, and relationships in general. It's going to be a long post, so I'm not going to have time to finish it tonight. I didn't want to let the day pass without popping in to say Hi.
Tomorrow is Friday, and you all know how I feel about Friday. It's my favorite day of the week. I expect to get out of work on time since I have every day this week. It's been nice getting off work on time. It's very refreshing to not have to rush to get everything done before I have to go to bed. I hope this becomes a permanent fixture in my work life.
Ok, now I'm going to get back to my other post. Good night.

R&B singer John Legend has thrown his support behind Beck after Kanye West ordered the rocker to hand his Grammy Award to snubbed pop star Beyonce.
The Stronger hitmaker hit headlines on Sunday (08Feb15) when he stormed the stage at the awards show after Beck won Album of the Year over his pal Beyonce, mirroring his infamous takeover at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009, when Taylor Swift pipped the Irreplaceable singer to a prize.
After West's stage invasion incident, Legend came to his longtime friend's defense, telling Us Weekly, "I thought it was funny, I looked at it as just a funny thing that people were going to talk about. It didn't hurt anybody. Anybody who's upset just needs to relax. It was funny."
However, Legend has changed his mind after hearing West's interview outburst, in which the rapper accused Beck of being "disrespectful to inspiration" and insisted he "needs to respect artistry" by giving the trophy to Beyonce.
Legend tells Us Weekly, "I want to clarify my thoughts on Kanye's actions at the Grammys on Sunday... In my original comments to Us, I said that when Kanye walked up on stage... most of the room, including me, saw this as funny, as a way of taking the p**s out of himself for his infamous behavior several years ago.
"When I said that was funny and people should lighten up about it, that's what I meant. I wasn't referring to Kanye's comments after the show, which I have now seen and heard. I disagree with those comments... Beck is indeed a true artist's artist. He's a multi-instrumentalist, a creative and unique singer-songwriter whose music I have bought and enjoyed over the years... (He is) a great artist deserving of recognition... We can all debate who we thought should have won. But even if you didn't vote for him, plenty of our colleagues in the music business did... I respect their decision and congratulate Beck on this outstanding accomplishment."

Quite simply, I care about people's stories; the present concerns being faced, the memories shaping beliefs, the fears hindering fulfillment, and the hopes motivating progress. I am a natural listener and a curious learner. Each client broadens my knowledge by allowing me to hear unique perspectives on relationships, family, health, downfalls, achievements, and expectations. I am grateful to be in such a privileged position, and I work hard to create safe, therapeutic relationships that lead to client fulfillment and wellness.
I have a special interest in working with women and couples during the prenatal and postnatal years. While these years are especially eventful and exciting, they are also at times extremely difficult.

I have my Master's in Counseling and Guidance with an emphasis in Couples and Family therapy and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Kansas. Outside of my professional life, I spend most of my time with my husband of 8 years and three hilarious kids. clairewimer.com
